Chapter 146: Air Refueling Continued (5/5)
0.5 meters!
"Ding!"
The oil receiving pipe of the 301 J-10C collided with the cone sleeve of the refueling hose, which was also metal, to achieve precise docking and make a crisp sound that Yang Luo could not hear.
The whole process is gentle and precise.
In the Il-78 air tanker, the person in charge was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unreal, and wiped his eyes vigorously to confirm that he was not mistaken, and a huge question arose in his heart: "Is this air refueling training?" How it feels like to refuel an old bird in the air. ”
Skilled, fluent, without a trace of the jerky of the first training, as if it has been tempered a thousand times, at this level, there is no need to train at all, more than many old birds are still excessive, not bad at all.
"I'll go, the first time I docked, amazing." Ren Shaoping exclaimed.
Xue Fei and the others were dumbfounded, knowing that Yang Luo was awesome, but they didn't expect Yang Luo to succeed once, they thought that they would be able to succeed once or twice, and the key was that the whole process was very standard, just like a textbook.
In an instant, all three of them felt a lot of pressure.
Yang Luo immediately glanced at the instrument, showing that the oil pipe connection was successful, and the tie rod was leveled and reduced to a speed synchronized with the Il-78, ensuring that the Il-78 tanker and the J-10C under him were in a relatively stationary state.
Only by ensuring that they are in a relatively forbidden state can they ensure that the receiving pipe and the refueling cone are not separated.
"Call KY-01, the oil pipe connection is successful, request air refueling operation." Yang Luo leaned on the back of the ejection seat and called out to the Il-78.
The operation of air refueling is in the hands of the air tanker, and the locking device will be automatically opened by the connection of the oil pipe, and the air tanker will only wait for the air tanker to deliver fuel.
"KY-01 received, air refueling operation is underway, the refueling operation lasts two minutes, and the refueling is 25 tons." The person in charge of the air tanker replied, looking at the green indicator light representing the successful connection, and turned on the fuel supply switch.
Suddenly, aviation fuel rushed down the 26-long refueling hose, passed through the refueling pipe, and poured into the main fuel tank of the J-10C and the auxiliary fuel tanks on both wings.
However, the fuel entered the fuel tank, and the head-up display in the cockpit immediately gave a hint that the fuel was being refueled, and the fuel volume was steadily rising.
With the increase in fuel volume, more and more aviation fuel is injected into the fuel tank, and the weight of the 301 J-10C is also changing, the center of gravity is slightly offset, the thrust is slightly insufficient, and the speed has a downward trend.
Yang Luo gently refueled his left hand, clenched the joystick with his right hand, exerted a negligible force, and operated softly to correct the flight attitude of the fighter.
Aviation fuel was poured in a steady stream until the total mass of the J-10C fighter increased by 25 tons, and the aviation fuel flowed in the fuel tank inside the fuselage, automatically in a horizontal state, the center of gravity of the fighter was restored, and the air refueling was completed.
"301, the refueling operation is complete, and it can be disconnected." In the Il-78 air tanker, the person in charge turned off the fuel supply switch, terminated the refueling, and said through radio communication.
"301 received, disconnecting." Yang Luo replied, and then began to operate, the speed brake on the back of the J-10C was erected, adjusting the angle of the flaps and reducing the speed.
The refueling hose was pulled by the Il-78, unlocked from the refueling pipe, made a soft sound, and floated in the air below the belly of the Il-78, waiting for the arrival of the next fighter.
"KY-01, disconnected."
Yang Luo then pressed the pole and dived for 200 meters, and then pulled the pole to climb, hovering in the air above the Il-78 to watch the other three people refuel in the air.
The second to conduct in-flight refueling training is Xue Fei, the worst one in the current modification training of the first squadron, accompanied by Ren Shaoping, flying the J-10S.
I saw the J-10S swooping down from more than 9,000 meters in the air, reducing the altitude and speed at the same time, and finally got under the belly of the Il-78 to start the operation.
Due to the influence of atmospheric turbulence, the refueling hose will swing with the wind, and the amplitude of the swing is not controlled by people, sometimes large and sometimes small.
The fuselage attitude of the J-10S was well controlled by Xue Fei and was very stable.
This is his consistent operation, which is stable and stable, but from another point of view, it also shows that his achievements in flying are limited after all, and he cannot reach the height of Yang Luo.
Although Xue Fei is stable enough, the refueling hose is unstable, the first three times are all a fraction of a second, and in the end there is no successful connection, and the docking is successful in the fourth time, and the refueling operation begins.
"That's right, this is a normal person's operation, how can the first in-flight refueling training be successful once, how can it have to endure several failures." The person in charge of the Il-78 air tanker muttered, glancing in Yang Luo's direction, "This demon is not counted, he is not a normal person." ”
Yang Luo is carefully observing everyone's operations, finding out the existing problems, and reminding them at any time.
After Xue Fei was completed, it was Xu Zhiqiang's turn, maybe Xiaoqiang's luck was really not good, there was a sudden turbulence in the air when docking, and the swing amplitude of the refueling hose increased greatly, and he couldn't dock successfully for four consecutive times, so he had to drop the height and try again when the turbulence passed.
Fortunately, the fifth time I went shit luck, and once I succeeded.
Wang Hanyu was the best performer except for Yang Luo, and successfully completed the docking and started the refueling operation in just two attempts.
After everyone's air refueling training was over, Yang Luo tuned the frequency to the confidential channel of the tower and called, "Call the tower, the air refueling training of the first squadron is over, request to return, over." ”
"The tower received, the first squadron can return, the return altitude is seven thousand, over."
"One squadron received, over." Yang Luo replied, and then ordered, "Everyone in the first squadron pay attention, turn right, and keep the four-plane formation returning." ”
"XXX understands." Xue Fei and the other three responded, and then operated.
The three fighters approached Yang Luo, formed a four-plane formation, and returned the same way at an altitude of 7,000 meters, and met the second squadron that had gone to receive air refueling training on the way, and they flew at an altitude of more than 9,000 meters above Yang Luo, and the two sides did not interfere with each other.
"The landing took a two-plane formation, with me and 221 landing first, and 304 and 305 landing immediately behind us." Looking at the Dongling Station on the ground in front of him, which was getting closer and closer, and adjusting the posture of the fuselage, Yang Luo said.
"XXX understands."
According to the normal landing procedure, flying over the station four turns, obtaining landing permission and meteorological parameters, and releasing the landing gear, Yang Luo pressed the nose of the plane and said, "221, runway No. 1, let's go." ”
A J-10C and a J-10S pressed down on the nose almost at the same time, maintaining a safe relative distance, and heading straight for the already cleared runway No. 1 on the ground.
"Squeak!"
The two fighters landed on the runway one after the other, the nose of the plane was slightly raised, and the main and auxiliary landing gears landed one after another, the braking system was activated, and the aviation tires rubbed against the ground at high speed, emitting a burst of smoke and making a harsh and unpleasant sound.
Standard two-plane formation landing.
